After doing some research I decided to tour this school with the intention of joining that fall…read more But after the interview I realized that this will not work for me. The school is great and the program seems to be covering a lot of essential subjects. The only problem was that they use tons of essential oils in their skincare and it has to be used on my skin during the course. Any dermatologist will tell you that fragrant essential oils are very bad for skin. It is setting you up for a potential for allergic reactions or sensitizing your skin to UV rays. The source of the essential oils do not matter at all. They are still volatile ingredients. Especially for someone with reactive skin that is definitely not a good idea. When someone has allergy prone skin the source does not matter. It is better to avoid such ingredients. All fragrance whether it is "natural" or synthetic is bad for skin. Fragrance has no place in skincare. Even when using a natural ingredient there are always side effects with volatile ingredients. Lot of people use fragrance and essential oils with no issues. That is not the case with everyone. Dermatologists say that even if you do not seem to be reacting to it immediately there is a higher chance of irritation down the road. I also cannot tolerate scented products. I am very sensitive to scents. For all these reasons, I could not join this school. Seemed like great teachers and a great curriculum otherwise.

I have been going here frequently, esp. the past 2 years. I was insulted when "confronted" about…read morepurchasing a Yon-ka product elsewhere. After being reminded that "it's economic hard times and they make their money through product sales- hence being able to provide the facials so cheap". I was rudely and bluntly told by the owner that "it's a slap in the face". I have written many a $200-$300 check to this school, just not this particular day. I was treated RUDE. Yes, facials are provided cheaper here because IT IS A SCHOOL. Your students PAY tuition and work for FREE and use my face as their guinea pig. If anyones taking anything in the face it's me!!! And where in the fine print does it say that I'm obligated to purchase product? I don't see anything hanging on the front door nor did I sign a contract. Expect to be treated in relation to the amount of money you will be spending...

I love the organic products. The color, cut and style was at the superior level that I received in Middlebury.

After all the damage it accumulated from a lack of a proper haircut, I decided its time I grow up and go to someone to professionally assist me in maintaining my hair. I scheduled with Tina and was not disappointed in the slightest! In previous salon settings where I felt judged and belittled for taking matters into my own hands, Tina was the complete opposite. She was friendly, cheerful, honest, highly skilled, and overly accommodating. The results were so satisfying and confidence building, I honestly don't think I'll ever see anyone else for a haircut or treatment. Her salon was beautiful and comfortable, and she explained everything she did so as not to catch me off guard too much with the end results. I have never had such an amazing haircut for my curly hair, and such wonderful customer service! I want to tell everyone to go to her. Forget five stars, I want to give her ten!
